The Making of the Roman Army From Republic to Empire

271 pp., 20 ill., 52 line ill. Dust jacket has ripple near outer edge on back panel. "Dr. Keppie overcomes the traditional dichotomy between a historical view of the Republic but an archaeological approach to the Empire, by making the most of the archaeological evidence from the earlier years. This is reflected in the wealth of specially prepared maps and diagrams, and in the detail from Republican monuments and coins. In short, this clearly written and illustrated study, ..., will certainly commend itself to both historians and archaeologists, whether professional or amateur." (Dust jacket)
